    What about the innocent lives lost because they didn’t have a gun? You think everyone can fight with their bare hands or a knife?

      Owning a gun makes you more likely to die by gun accident or by that gun being used against you. You logic is completely wrong.

        You think these people care about logic? Wait until you hear who they are voting for and their reasoning for it.

      Who do you even need to fight bro? If I was say getting mugged I would give them all my valuables save a 10 % tip that I could give them when I was allowed to run the hell away from there. Do not be a stupid macho idiot. Be a smart coward without neither a wallet, gun nor a fatal wound.

      Jokes aside, the main uptick is the smaller chance of someone less mentally stable than you with less to lose also having a gun.

        So what about when you are getting raped? What about when someone doesn’t want to let you go? Do you know what its like to almost be murdered?

        If you want to say “Why do you even need to fight bro” you’re basically just saying good luck to all the people who can’t defend themselves and just letting them die. And do you not understand how regimes come to light? Just take a look at Russia, Putin just got to serve for another 6 years. Do you wonder how somebody stays in power for 24 years and more? Because nobody can fight back.

          How are you supposed to go an get your gun from the locked cabinet where I assume you keep it to prevent a psycho from stealing it and using it against you? Unless you keep it attached to you at all times risking a misfire or your attacker grabbing it and using it against you. What if you accidentally kill someone who was infact innocent when you think you’re doing the right thing but you misjudged a situation? How do I know that you can be trusted with a firearm? What distinguishes you from a school shooter just by looking at you? If the US is so free why don’t you fight back against the corrupt two-party system?
